David Lebovitz (2012) “This cheese shop at 140 Rue de Belleville is one of my favorites because it’s in a regular neighborhood and the guys are selling cheese to normal people. That means that every day they have repeat customers who are loyal clients (which is always a good sign in France.) Aside from the cheese, their rice pudding is really outstanding. It has a thick layer of creamy, salted butter caramel pooled on the bottom.”

David Lebovitz (2012) “Beillevaire is a little overwhelming since they have a lot of cheeses that I’ve never seen before… Pardon my French, but holy sh*t, that butter is good!”
